Who uses what courier to send items interstate, particularly our beloved windsurfing kit for a reasonable price without getting broken into tiny pieces ?
Living up in Noth Qld I have to get lots of gear sent and have found Fastway good value Star track ok but recently had a sail sent from Melbourne to Townsville with TNT which cost more than twice as much as a sail from Perth to Townsville.It usually depends on the senders preferred courier.Good luck.
I've sent gear via National Rail. The drivers have a personal locker in the loco. Got a sail to NSW for a carton of crownies. Make sure you wrap the gear really well and mark it clearly. Recipient collected from office of container terminal without fuss - make sure they pick it up straight away or you really stretch the friendship..
